THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK:
v Ways to Help Your Child Love the Mass: Start with the basics- Make sure everyone has had enough to eat and has visited the bathroom before Mass so they’re comfortable. Even adolescents will squirm when hungry.

v Cookie dough orders will be ready for pick up on April 23rd after 2:00 p.m. in the old gym.

CARNIVAL INFORMATION:
The carnival is quickly approaching. Mark your calendars for April 25th. If you would like to donate any money towards the carnival please contact Susan Kramer at 367-7018 or sukramer@bbwi.net. I am also looking for workers for all of the games and inflatables. They are 1-hour shifts from 5-6, 6-7 and 7-8pm. The inflatables are open until 9pm. We are trying to get some of the older kids to fill up the list first and then I will be sending out next week what is still needed. If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to let me know.
